After 6 months, this was resolved by disabling DEP for Outlook. (This
is sent to the list so that others searching might find my answer.)
In expectation of this day, I still have all my saved Spam for the last
10 years (49,313 items), so retraining and getting back to where I used
to be was no problem.
And, of course, the solution is sitting right in the FAQ:
5.8 After installing SpamBayes, Outlook crashes and then asks for the
plug-in to be disabled. <http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/faq.html#id68>
Are you using an Athlon 64 or Core 2 Duo with DEP? There are issues with
DEP and Outlook with a SpamBayes-based plug-in. Listing Outlook as a
safe application on these processors should "solve" the problem.

I still haven't been able to get any farther on this, despite a few more
attempts. Is there some way to at least get a dump file so that I would
look at the crash in WinDbg and hopefully find an obvious problem?

Subject: SpamBayes 1.1a4 crashes when first starting up after
reinstalling...
I just got a new machine running Windows XP SP 3 and Outlook 2003. Both
are completely updated.
I first installed SpamBayes 1.0.4, and that went fine, but I ran into an
old bug, so I decided to install 1.1a4 (which I should have just done
from the start).
When Outlook restarts, the SpamBayes Outlook COM object is disabled, and
just re-enabling it does not work. So, I have to Add it back in. Once
I do that, it then crashes Outlook with the following. I can't get any
more crash information since the "more information" can't be
cut-and-pasted and I can't find any info stored in a file.
AppName: outlook.exe AppVer: 11.0.8217.0 AppStamp:480f95d9
ModName: unknown ModVer: 0.0.0.0 ModStamp:00000000
fDebug: 0 Offset: 119cf550
The SPAMBAYES1.LOG contains only:
Registered: SpamBayes.OutlookAddin
Registration complete.
I have tried a number of times to uninstall it (and even hunted down and
deleted all references to "SpamBayes" in filenames and the Registry),
but I still get the same crash.
I feel that I'm not completely cleaning up since the SpamBayes Outlook
COM object is always disabled after I uninstall and then reinstall it.
Does anyone have any assistance to offer? I've tried everything that I
can think of.
(By the way, I have been using SpamBayes for about 5 years on my old
machine and I love it. I had even saved my 50,000 or so spam messages
for the inevitable retraining.)
